Bobby Short obit

Bobby Short, the cherubic singer and pianist whose high-spirited but probing renditions of popular standards evoked the glamour and sophistication of Manhattan nightlife, died today at New York Presbyterian Hospital. He was 80, and had homes in Manhattan and southern France. . .

The Carlyle was hardly a grad student hangout, but most of my contemporaries at the Institute of Fine Arts had been there at least once. And don't forget the Bemelmans murals.
